Three men share details of ‘yowie sighting’ in rural Queensland

Three Queensland men say they couldn’t believe their eyes when they came across a mysterious figure in a remote town.

Three men in Queensland have claimed they came across a “yowie” while driving home from work.

The Courier Mail reported the three plantation workers were driving on Saturday, December 4, to the Jimna Base Camp when they allegedly spotted “slouched over figure” under a street light. The men said the figure noticed them and turned in their direction.

“We initially thought it was a boar or a really big animal until we got closer and saw it run off in a very apelike way,” Seamus FitzGerald said via the Brisbane publication, describing the mysterious figure as having “very long arms” and an “apelike” face.

“I’ve never really had a paranormal or strange experience like that before. I hardly slept that night and the feeling was overwhelming that I had seen something that I never believed in previously.”

Workmate Stirling Slocock-Bennett said the group was immediately confused when it crossed paths with the unknown entity.

“We were in utter disbelief of what we were seeing,” he said.

The three men say they couldn't believe their eyes when they spotted the 'slouched' creature with 'red hair'.

“It definitely was a scary moment for me, as I said I was so confused and shook of what we were seeing, and as we got closer and closer it didn’t make sense like you’d hope.”

Locals from the tiny town of Jimna (which has a population of just 91 people) have reportedly claimed to have seen evidence of the supposed yowie in bushland before.

“We went on a few hikes after to see it, but sadly they weren’t organised very well, too many people and too loud,” Mr Slocock-Bennett said.

“However after speaking to locals it seems the yowies are pushed out in storms.”

Mr Fitzgerald said he never previously believed in the existence of yowies but said the experience had prompted him to go looking for another sighting.

“I’m very intrigued to find out what other people have seen and experienced,” he said.
